It's February 2 and the ground dog has risen and saw his shadow lay across his keyboard, that can mean one thing -
It's time to get the get the 2024 April Fools Contest Support Thread rolling:
April 01 is April Fool's Day
April fools day is a purely American holiday that traces back to the year 1500 when Europe changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. On that same date the earliest American colonists changed from the Puppies and Kitties calendar to the Hot Firemen calendar. In Europe, those who forgot the calendar change and tried to celebrate New Years Day on April 1 where it was celebrated on the Julian calendar and were called April Fools. In America the colonists, all 8 of them, celebrated "I Survived the Winter Day."
The themes: Stories (humorous or otherwise) of surprise meetings, humor, tricks, trick endings, and other themes of deception, chance, and/or misunderstandings (happy or otherwise) cheating at strip poker, spring worms in cans of mixed nuts, limburger cheese on the exhaust manifold of your brother-in-law's car engine, that kind of stuff.
Starts: March 01
Closes: March 22
Winners announced: March 29
As usual, this thread is to SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE authors to enter stories in the 2023 April Fool's Contest.
Get writing, everyone, and don't forget to copy and paste the phrase "APRIL FOOLS 2024" to the "Notes to Admin" field of the submission
Also - please copy and paste the phrase APRIL FOOLS 2024 as a tag when posting your entry (Not required but nice to do)
I used to hate this contest, many of us find this contest the most difficult of the year - but last year I decided to be silly/romantic and had a wife play a trick on her husband and the readers loved it - give it a go.
There is an advantage to entering stories in one of Literotica's themed contests, apart from the possibility of winning, and that is that your story gets far more exposure and attention than it would normally do. Your name gets out there, you develop a cadre of followers.
As soon as Laurel posts the official notification I'll post a link to it right here.
Have fun everyone! And get started if you haven't already!!!!

I will, of course, credit said anonymous commenter as best as I can. 
So it will need a lot of editing, upgrading, and some parts completely re-written I imagine. Anyone want to take a look at my "Dark Carnival" story, I welcome any help I can find! But it's not for the faint of heart. Erotic horror.
